I've long wondered why it seems that politicians, especially in the SouthWest, have pandered to illegal aliens, who after all, aren't supposed to be able to vote. Then it occurred to me. The reason is simple. It's just self-preservation. These people have seen the way the government allows the invasion of the South West, and realize that some day, those states will be "reclaimed" by Mexico. These people who have done so much for the illegal aliens hope to ingratiate themselves to the alien invaders, and make for themselves a "history" of providing aid to the invaders. Sort of like the Vichy in France during WWII.

I've long wondered why it seems that politicians, especially in the SouthWest, have pandered to illegal aliens, And you've just explained why this country needs no more presidents who come from the southern border states, at least if anyone hopes the illegal alien problem will ever be addressed and immigration laws enforced.
Those border state politicians are as addicted to pandering as most southerners are to football. They won't give it up if they make it to the WH as several Texas presidents have already proven.
